There's no "hack". The article says the bots edited an open wiki website.

Language is a proxy of something much bigger, if we’re talking about taking up arms for.

Because my browser is an extremely sensitive piece of software and I don’t trust just anybody to provide it for me.

This is not a case of vandalism by other users. Google made this change because they use the names officially recognised by the government of the US.

Not only the Brits. Take a look at this, especially the charts, and compare it to what us Europeans are getting - that's democracy for you.

It used to be the case that you would see someone posting under an avatar like that and you would dismiss their argument right away without even reading it.

They should have considered not lying in their residence permit applications. I mean, what you are saying sounds like completely reasonable reasons to deport someone. They lied because they knew their application would’ve been denied had they said the truth.

"You know x is good based on who hates it" is too generic an argument to be useful. It applies to so many things.

“I’m right either way”

In threads about the Russian war if you mention that the US has done worse your comments are removed and people complain about "whataboutism".

In this thread, on the other hand, people keep bringing up that the US has done worse but those comments are upvoted and there is no mention of "whataboutism" in the entire thread.

A king could… but that’s never going to happen.

All parliamentary democracies.

If you have the majority, you can’t even be removed through a vote of no confidence.

In most modern democratic countries (I don't know about the US, since I'm European) executive and legislative branches are one and the same, so that still holds up!

The link makes it clear (at least to me) that they are looking for Palestine supporters and not leftists in general.

Reminded me of that GTA 3 mission. I thought it was hilariously outlandish. Turns out people actually do it!

If you can bring a text-based site down with an L7 attack it was kinda crap to begin with.

The thousands dying are just a means to an end. They don't really care about them.

Oh believe me, there is a part of the political aisle which would be more than happy to put millions of people in forced labour camps, especially if they are wealthy. Any excuse is a good excuse.

No, we have always called this RPC or IPC.

If it’s a legitimate commercial relation (like a mining operation) they won’t have any issues paying the price or setting up alternate communication channels.

There’s little to no reason why someone from Africa should be able to make a call to the first world. It should be either extremely expensive or simply impossible.

Have you seen the prices of valve’s hardware?

>Microsoft’s records showed that at that exact same minute, a Windows device carrying GDID g:6755467234350028 had visited the ngrok signup page. Three hours later, the same GDID visited the retailer’s own website, through the same Tzulo proxy address used to set up the ngrok account.

Can someone explain the mechanism through which Windows sends this information to Microsoft? Did the hacker use Edge, which communicated the web history + the GDID of the user to Microsoft, or is Windows snooping on browsers besides Edge and sending the web history to Microsoft, or is Windows bundling a summary of all connections open and sending it to Microsoft?
